Speaking on the programme, Lubega said the discussion centred on the development needs and livelihoods of residents in Kakuuto, a border constituency comprising four sub-counties and two town councils. He noted that the area's economy is driven by agriculture, livestock farming and cross-border trade through the Mutukula border with Tanzania.
Lubega said Rakai District continues to be heavily affected by HIV/Aids, with many families, including widows and orphans, bearing the impact of the epidemic.
"I am grateful to the Speaker and Parliament for the trust they placed in me to serve on the HIV Committee," he said. "I urge everyone to be cautious. HIV is still present, and it continues to take lives."
The legislator described inadequate healthcare infrastructure as one of Kakuuto's biggest challenges, saying it was one of the reasons he joined politics.
"When I joined politics, the area had only one Health Centre IV," he said.
Lubega said the facility previously received medical equipment support from Salam Charity and added that President Yoweri Museveni has pledged to upgrade it to a hospital.
On access to clean water, the MP said he began tackling water shortages before he entered Parliament. Through partnerships and his personal network, he said, more than 50 boreholes have been drilled across the constituency, while several others have been rehabilitated.
To improve planning and target government interventions more effectively, Lubega said he has launched a village-level registration exercise to collect data on residents, their occupations and the challenges they face.
He said the information will help link eligible residents to appropriate government programmes.
Lubega also addressed the challenges faced by young people who acquired motorcycles through commercial loan schemes, saying many lost their motorcycles because of high repayment costs.
"I'm addressing this by introducing government programmes like the Parish Development Model (PDM) and other supportive initiatives that are much more favourable," he said.
He said Kakuuto's strategic location at the Uganda-Tanzania border, where the Mutukula crossing handles significant volumes of trade, presents opportunities that should be harnessed alongside agriculture and livestock farming to improve household incomes.
The Salam Omukeeze discussion sought to highlight the development priorities of Kakuuto and ongoing efforts to improve service delivery in the border constituency.
